This walk took us through some of the most beautiful and wild landscapes in the whole of the Lake District. Starting the walk on the shores of Haweswater, Finn and I walked along the Old Corpse Road - a path used in a bygone era to carry the dead village folk of Mardale Green over to Shap Abbey - and then up onto Selside Pike and Branstree. A quick drop down to Gatescarth Pass and we were soon at the summit of Harter Fell with stunning views west, across the Lakeland Fells. We then leisurely strolled down to Nan Bield Pass where we chose to head down to Small Water; enjoying the waterfalls along the way.

You know, it just dawned on me one of the reasons why I thoroughly enjoy this channel so much, apart from the breathtaking views, and the stellar photography of those views, there is not even a hint of unsightly hydro poles/cables/towers to obstruct the magnificent views. It's all 100% Mother Nature. SPECTACULAR! Thank You for sharing, Glenn. BIG love to Finn! 💚😊
It’s a nature reserve, you can’t fly a drone there therefore this video will be taken down soon and the guy sued for thousands of pounds👍
This must be rated one of the best and most beautiful views I've ever seen. The drone footage is spectacular and Finn one of the best companions. Thanks Glenn. 🦴👍😊
Just discovered your awesome channel. Stunning. I'll be spending my day off today watching your videos, thanks for sharing ⛰️
Really enjoyed the walk with you, brilliant photography and scenery and my faviorite area of the lakes since I first went there during the drought of 76 when the whole village was uncovered again.
The small abandoned huts on the corpse road were used for drying peat in season, loved the little mountain dog who knows how to get the best vantage points, so well behaved.
There is a superb book on the valley available online, called Mardale Mysteries, where all the place names can be found and lots more. Thank you very much for sharing your journey.
This will be my next walk, your videos always inspire me, and take me to the lakes when I cant get to the lakes,
Thank you so much for all your videos , living and working in the city eats away at your soul, exploring the lakes recharges my batteries and puts life and all its stresses and worries into perspective ,
Great video again Glen. I’m always looking for walks where I can get some peaks, but isn’t too steep a climb for Louise. The climb up the Corpse Road doesn’t look too bad at all 🙂
Addicted now..amazing video and content.
Your living my dream.
Another goodie! Love this! Get some merchandise goodies for us! Don’t forget us females too! A cap would be a great idea and would lovely with the logo on! Good to see your little helper with you too! Great walk 🍀
Fantastic as always Glen.... your passion and enthusiasm really sets you apart from the rest!
Looking forward to the next one🏔😍
fast becoming one of my favorite vlogs
Thanks so much, that's great to know 😊🙌
Stunning stuff you put out mate, remarkable 👍👍
Next time I come back to the UK, I’m definitely going to do this route. Another great video Glen 😊
Simply brilliant really enjoyed it.
Easily becoming my favourite vlogger now, and the photography on your Instagram is amazing. You always capture the Lake District in all its stunning glory.
Wow, thank you! 🙌
What’s the username?
Riggindale looks like a stunning valley. Will have to get myself up there one day soon. Great vlog as usual Glenn!
Excellent, thank you Glenn this is very helpful
Incredibly beautiful.
Thanks very much 😊
That turned into be a great watch 😂 Haweswater needs a bigger car park ! Spectacular place.
Absolutely amazing vlog, the drone footage at the beginning and during your walk really showed the beauty of the the Lakes. Looking forward to your next vlog Stay safe.
Thanks very much, really pleased you enjoyed it 😊 🙏
I usually start from the far end and head up Rough Crag or Harter. Might try this way round tomorrow, just for a change. Another great video!
Man alive how good is to be alive 😊😊👍🏻 another great vlog !
It really is! Thank you 😊
Very enjoyable Glenn and looked like you had it all to yourself!
Thank you 😊 I counted 10 people in total. That was over the course of 7 hours 👌
The fist of your videos I have seen! Wow! I loved it! I felt I was there with you. Beautiful filming, so well put together. Some armchair travel for me while isolating. Many thanks 😊
You made me laugh when you were talking about it raining when you parked up and you were talking to yourself saying you hate the lakes it always raining I want to go home... The times I have said this it just made me laugh. Always enjoy your vlogs, keep them coming, it's all about those views
I am in love with this place because of the videos you make!!!! 🍀🌳🌲
Thanks so much, really pleased you're enjoying them 😊 🙌
Any adventure involving Fin gets a thumbs up, Great vlog!
Haha, she is Adventure Dog™ (and Catdog™) 😂
TOP NOTCH 👍Beautiful
Thanks very much, really glad you liked it 😊
Wow! Amazing!
Thanks very much 😊
Just watched the Haweswater and corpse road RUclips. We have just been to Bampton and walked on the other side of the reservoir. We are going back to do some of the path you walked some years ago. Another idea for getting out and about. Thank you.
Thank god, something to watch on my break at work, satisfying my lake district urges! I'll back in the fells next week and I can't wait. As ever another amazing Vlog, you deffo deserve more subs :) video quality is excellent. Glad to see young Fin is doing well too. I love your approach to photography, none of this sitting about waiting for sunset, very much a "if it happens it happens, if it dunt it dunt" attitude. I like that. Capture moments as they happen. It's a refreshing and easily my favourite hiking Vlogger. You put so much into your videos, the 3D Cam, Drone and beautiful photography. Incredible Vlogs. keep it up and stay safe fella. Si thi 😎
PS, Walk suggestion. Longside Edge to Skiddaw and down either Carlside or Lower Man. Great views over the lesser known northan fells and relatively quiet with regards to walkers if your early.
Thanks very much mate, really chuffed you're enjoying them 😊
Cool one I'm thinking of doing a wild camp out there at some point this year. Thanx duse
Another very enjoyable vlog. Fantastic drone footage! Look forward to seeing your next vlog!
Thanks so much! 😊👍
Stunning
Thanks very much 😊
Eastern fells are so underrated.Good work fella.
Thanks very much.....and totally agree 😊👍
Absolutely cracking Glenn, thank you :-)
Thanks Anthony mate 😊
Another great walk a cracking corner of the Lakes.
Thanks very much Mark 😊
Fantastic as usual! Just home from a 3am start at work ! This comes on my RUclips notifications = cupper and chill ! Thanks so much
Haha, thanks very much mate 😊 👊
Awesome images buddy😎😎😎
Thanks mate, appreciate it 😊
Another great Walk Glenn...added to the list. Could be one I do with my 12 year old who has just decided he wants to do all the wainwrights - and he's just started with his photography!
Thanks very much bud 😊 👊 that'd be a wonderful thing to complete with your lad 💪
Hi mate jst subscribed and I jst wanted to say thanks 4 putting these videos up I going to be in the lakes as from tomorrow with a friend going to this walk definitely as may be down that way for a cupple of week !!! Absolutely stunning p.s Finn is beautiful as well !!! Definitely looking forward to this walk !!!
Thanks so much, hope you've had a good time 😊
Another great vlog, will definitely be doing this route thank you
Thanks very much 😊 I can highly recommend it 🙌
Loved it! A quiet area.
Half your route was once part of what I did. The only others I saw were far on another hill. Like you, the whole route was to my self.
Only just started the video and have to say a stunning intro, can't wait for the rest of the video😍
Thank you, appreciate it 😊 🙏
Great watch!
Thanks very much 😊
FANTASTIC - Always love your vlogs.
Thanks so much! 😊
Loving your work. many thanks for sharing these little known routes. love your style of narration.
Fantastic mate, some exemplary Finn footage 👍👍👍
Thanks Will......she's the bestest trail/camera buddy 😊
Another masterpiece Glenn - despite the 'orrible 360° camera. Also, I have to say, I loved the 'misty/foggy opening sequence on these earlier vids - maybe consider reintroducing that..? Anyway, keep up the great work. Atb.
Another great video! The scenery is fantastic. Really need to get back home soon!
Thanks Gareth, appreciate it buddy 😊 🙏
Thanks for inspiring me to visit these places . Currently planning to go next year. I hill walk in Northumberland and the borders so this will be a new and exciting challenge
That’s class mate.
Hey buddy!
Love your videos
Any chance you could tell us where you park etc after I watch your videos I tend to find the places you walked/startpoints etc . Good places to park would be great!
Thanks
Makes sense then why the reservoir originally stopped where you pointed since there is an Iron Age hill fort on the ridge across the water if I’m not mistaken… great videos
A couple of the fells I've yet to do, going to try them in a couple of weeks time and should get me away from the crowds. Thanks for the route :)
Amazing video sir. Subscribed and looking forward to going through all your vids.
Thanks for your hard work.
Thanks very much, really appreciate the support 😊🙏
nice video - good drone work - maybe illustrated map - so we can retrace tick
Nice surprise to find this new one this morning. Beautiful drone footage! We did a similar route here and wild camped, didn't see a soul! At the time I told myself to Google "Old Corpse Road" and forgot, so that was interesting thank you!
Thanks Chloe, really glad you enjoyed it 😊 I kept seeing potential camp spots all along, I bet it was fantastic!
Great video! I wanted to do Selside and Branstree but couldn't see a clear path on the map. Really useful and I'll definitely be doing that one soon.
Thank you so much 😊 it's not so obvious on the map but if you just walk along the old corpse road you'll eventually spot the faint path in the grass 😊
Just love your videos - a way of getting me through the dark days away from the fells - its like being there with you (aside from all the effort and a 5 hour car drive etc). I am also planning to buy one of your black wave pictures - just stunning - the delay is negotiating wall space with the wife which will dictate size etc :-)
Please please add Black Crag Tshirts to your online shop - the logo is brilliant and a T shirt would be very cool!
Keep em coming - regards Graham o/
Thanks so much for watching and your kinds comments.... It really encourages me to get back there. I am working on some t-shirts so watch this space. Black Crag logo and another one 😊
Great Vlog as usual. I especially liked the Drone footage on this particular video because this has been my go to area this year. Nice to view from an overall perspective.
Thanks very much 😊 it's a stunning part of the Lakes isn't it 😍
Another cracking vlog mate, some stunning footage👍🏻
Thanks Damian, appreciate it mate 😊
Glenn love the vid but can i ask what Camera Belt Clip you got????
Thanks very much 😊 I use a Spider Holster 👌
Lovely as always! 😍
Thank you! 😊
Great vlog, lovely job. Can we expect a Black Crag t-shirt? 👍😜🏞️📸
Thanks Stephen, appreciate it 😊 Definitely t-shirts coming real soon.....and some other things
I hope the new merchandise includes a Finn cuddly toy 😍🐶
Hmmm.....I think it will now, yay 🙌😊
Great video and editing, can I ask what microphone you use ?
A lovely area to visit. Nice video thanks for sharing.
On a non walking not (and it was my better half who noticed) how are you controlling your cam? Cant see a stick, only a shadow!
Just discovered your vlog..brilliant stuff!! Re this walk, it tweeked my memory when you turned off the Corpse Road to start up Selside Pike. I remember that there used to be a wooden stake where the path went right, but that was ten years ago, I bet it's gone now.
Thanks very much 😊 🙏 sadly there was no post there this time... Perhaps it was lying down in the long grass nearby 🤔
Great vlogs as usual, great to hear the information you give out and all great walks etc.
I’ve visited the area twice from gatesgarth pass side, unfortunately both times after getting to the summit of harter fell ended up having phone calls to say either my mum or dad had been taken to hospital, think it’s jinxed for me that place. But all the same lovely small water etc. 👍🏻 keep up the good vlogs
Thanks so much 😊 🙏 sorry to hear of your misfortune on the summit. Give it one more go 🤞
Black Crag very tempted to give it another go, one day maybe. Although you do so many lovely places I want to try.
Started this one today with my little white canine. However, at Nan Bield, I decided to do High Street and Kidsty Pike and it ended up being a 20k day.
I may be ready for the Mosedale Horseshoe soon?!
Squelchy on Selside to Branstree.
Can I ask what is the camera/system you use - you can’t see the pole and it is very wide angle? Not seen anyone else using this technology and interested in what you use. Very dramatic. Finn is gorgeous dog.
Thanks very much 😊 It's a 360 camera 👌
I’m loving your videos, getting me so inspired. Can I ask what drone you use?
Thank you 😊 I'm still using the old mavic pro 👌
Great vlog and spectacular scenery, the old corpse road is on my list! Sadly the last Golden Eagle disappeared some time ago.
Thanks very much......such a shame about the eagles 😢
@@BlackCrag it is 😔
Another great video, thanks. Can i ask a photo geek question - what belt mount are you using for your DSLR?
Thanks very much 😊 I use a Spider Holster 👌
Just out curiosity how do you make your stick disappear? Are you using a go pro? Your videos are beautiful and stunning. Keep it up I love it.
Thanks so much 😊 It's a 360 camera so the stick sits in the blind spot of the 2 lenses 👍
👍😀 very enjoyable Finn is a bit of a poser typical woman😀 just love the views taken by the drone
Thanks very much 😊
Cracking yomp Glenn. Love T'other Harter Fell but let me count the ways I hate Gatesgarth pass! Unlike you though, I really like that gnarly path down to Smallwater, even if I did turn my ankle last time I went down it 😂
Thanks Mikey, appreciate it 😊 See, it IS a treacherous path 😂
Amazing video Glenn and it's me the one who just SUBSCRIBED :D remember cookie plays well I am her this is another account your videos are beautiful like always I think you deserve more then 1.68k subscribers your videos deserve 1000000000000b subs :)
Thank you, that's very kind 😊 Let's hope I get 1000000000000b subs! 😁👍
Have you ever gone up Kidsty Pike and up on to High Street. I'm thinking of bypassing rough crag, going up Kidsty Pike over to high Raise, back towards High street and down the same way as you.
I've done it in reverse High Street then Kidsty. But up via Rough Crag....that is a ridge too nice to miss out
@@BlackCrag I agree. We went Kidsty Pike, over to high raise, back to high street and down to small water via Mardale Ill Bell today. Great views of rough crag though you cant help but want to be on rough crag when your looking at it it. It's one for another day though.
Beautiful video. I think they refer to the trails where they carried the dead as Coffin Roads, not corpse roads. There is one near Rydal Hall as well. Story goes that landowners did not want coffins carried across their property since the law then gave people the right to traverse their property with or without a coffin.
Thanks very much 😊 Yes, I know the the Rydal coffin trail very well. The Old Corpse Road is indeed a coffin trail but is known as the 'Old Corpse Road' and is marked on OS maps as such. There is a slightly different reason for it than land ownership. In a nutshell: Shap Abbey prevented Mardale Green from having its own church right up until the 1700s so all the dead had to be carried to Shap to be inturred. Thanks for watching 🙏
Ah, great. Thanks for clarifying. Stunning area, with or without corpses.
Now you have whetted by appetite for a wander
Fin is so cut your talking to the camera she is like who is he talking to.
